Does anyone play UB? I'm probably going to be switching over there in July, I'd like to hear some thoughts/concerns/general feelings about 50 and 100NL on that site.

I remember people saying that it was tougher than most sites, but that was some time ago.

It was a bit tougher than many other sites a while ago (played there around Nov-Feb @50NL), but still beatable.

The real reason why I canned it was that the dialog windows stealing focus from each other drove me completely nuts. You can't take notes without having to click the window umpteen times to get focus on it again.
Other than that, the software was fast, sleek and pretty good. But that focus stealing crap alone made it the 2nd most unbearable software I've been playing on so far.

One really good thing one should mention is that the bonus clears gradually, not in chunks like at most other sites.

How many hands of 50 will it take to clear the full $600?

[jonyy6788]

depends on ur stats....u only clear bonus when u contribute to the pot

At least 95k hands based on my experience

Not sure if this is correct, but it sounds plausible. Especially since they changed the counted hands rules.

Whatever, too many for me. I gave up on the site after clearing a few hundos. And them changing policies gave me the final push to run and never look back.

oh god f that then. i'll go back to stars before i do that.

Does anyone here dabble in Omaha? I have never played it before but have heard several people say that if you need some cash its dead easy to sit and wait for monster hands and get your stack in? Is this true? If so please could you give me some tips...

Play every hand, wait till you hit the flop hard, pot it, pot the turn, pot the river, only to get sucked out on.

Breaking even is a good thing!!! Oct (when I began playing online)-present:



This is one reason why I got there. Villain was 60+/20+/5+ over 150+ hands. He had already raised me off two hands previously when I was marginal.
